Sunday Sketches

I'M BACK!

Wedding and childcare now history, I can pick up my brush once again!

One of my favorite flower is gracing the landscape these days; the foxglove or also called by its formal name, digitalis. I have taken somewhat of a kinship to this beauty in that I refer to the spots as freckles. Between the freckles and wonderful shapes, I continue to paint several renditions of this charming flower. Today it is watercolor and ink.

This is so gorgeous and you have perfectly captured one of my favourite flowers.... there was a lady in our Botanical Art Soc who specialised in them and had a cool house to grow them in our climate so she always had wonderful specimens... I am going to forward the link to her as I think she would enjoy your work very much... glad you are back...xx

About Me

The flow of the water and pigments on paper fascinates me. Painting with watercolors is a blend of spontaneity and control and freedom. Each act of painting begins with the thought, “I wonder what will appear?” There is no formula to painting with watercolors. In the midst of painting an inner guidance says, some purple here, now.

Along with creating art, especially watercolor painting, I design workshops and classes with specific foci to explore the creative process through art media to foster self-awareness.

"Artistic expression lies in all of us and requires only a sense of trust and the freedom to allow the flowing for magic to happen."
